[QUOTE="BPM, post: 1036151, member: 59968"] Just thinking out loud ... England are unable to tour North America, Ireland are unable to tour Fiji ... might as well play each other if there’s nothing better on offer? Arguably, we’d both get more benefit from playing experimental sides against each other than we might have done on the tours. Not sure what team Fiji would have been able to put out, but from England’s POV, playing USA and Canada wouldn’t really have given us much of an indication of whether the fringe players are ready for test rugby or not.
